Bogatha Waterfall

Bogatha Waterfall, often nicknamed the "Telangana Niagara", is a seasonal but powerful cascade located near Vajedu in Mulugu district of East Telangana near the border of Chhattisgarh. At the intersection of forest and river, it offers a tranquil, offbeat escape.

The best time to visit is June–November, soon after monsoon when flow is strongest.
